Let's Play in the production environment

Reading Time: 4 minutes

In this blog, we are going to see how to deploy the play framework application. And walks you through steps to create Dockerfile, Build and deploy the application.

We will display a Hello World greeting page. As an outcome.

Introduction

We all use the “sbt run” command to run the application in the development environment. However, we can not use the “run ” command in the production environment. As when a run command executes each request check with the “sbt” if any files have changed. And it impacts your application performance.

There are different ways to deploy the application, But here we see by creating the artifact using dist task.

The artifact can be created using several ways as follows

‘sbt package’ command
‘dist’ task
Native packager
‘stage’ task
sbt assembly plugin

Using dist task

Note: Before you run the application in a production environment you need to create the application secrete click here

Using the dist task it will create the binary version of your project so that you need only java to install to run. No need or dependency of sbt.

Steps

Build your project artifact by entering ‘sbt dist’ command in your terminal. It will create the .zip artifact of your project in target/universal directory.

2. Extract the zip folder using unzip command. It unzips the folder in the same directory where the zip artifact is.

3. After creating extracting the zip artifact run the script file present in bin directory. There are two versions of script present

1 bash shell script(Linux, Ubuntu)
2 .bat(is present for windows)

./target/universal/play-scala-seed-1.0-SNAPSHOT/bin/play-scala-seed

Now here you can see it shows the error if I am not providing the application secrete. So it is necessary to provide the application secrete when running in the production environment.

4. Run using the following command

sbt -Dplay.http.secret.key=ad31779d4ee49d5ad5162bf1429c32e2e9933f3b
[info] play.api.Play - Application started (Prod) (no global state)
[info] p.c.s.AkkaHttpServer - Listening for HTTP on /0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:9000

Now here the application is running successfully and you see the output by bowsing the localhost:9000

Containerized a play application

Copy all the above steps in a Dockerfile(Create a Dockerfile)

Dockerfile

FROM openjdk:8-jre-alpine
WORKDIR /play-scala-hello-world
RUN apk --no-cache add bash
RUN ls -a
COPY ./target/universal/play-scala-seed-1.0-SNAPSHOT.zip .
RUN ls -a
RUN unzip play-scala-seed-1.0-SNAPSHOT && rm play-scala-seed-1.0-SNAPSHOT.zip
CMD ./play-scala-seed-1.0-SNAPSHOT/bin/play-scala-seed -Dplay.http.secret.key='QCY?tAnfk?aZ?iwrNwnxIlR6CTf:G3gf:90Latabg@5241AB`R5W:1uDFN];Ik@n'

Here we use base image of OpenJDK , which we already stated we only need java.

2. Build Dockerfile ( it creates an image with the tag you provided)
